-Rules
1. You must post in 3rd person paragraph form. No chat speak, no ‘**’ please.
2. Each post has a two paragraph minimum. Please note that a paragraph can be as little as 3 sentences if need be. I just want to see strong, thought out posts.
3. No Godmodding. I cannot express this enough. By no means should you ever kill enemies on your own, dodge an attack that I have said you have, give yourself free stuff or complete conversations with NPCs that I have not approved. Not only is it against the rules, but is also rude to me and your fellow players. Please keep that in mind.
4. You do not control the battlefield. Meaning no starship will come to save you, no allies coming out of the walls or your luck managing to give you a dark lance just lying on the ground. I will control the world but you are free to move about and control your character at your leisure.
5. I am the GM and Narrator of this story. Please understand and respect that. You may logically object to my decisions and I may change it if you prove correct, but do not make an argument about it. I make the Final Say.
6. I am your enemy.(Meaning I play as your enemy, and I will act just as your enemy would) I aim to hurt you and I will not hold back. My RPs are brutal and realistic. If you are fast on your feet and creative, you will come out on top. If you are slow, you will find yourself in an early grave.
7. I HAVE NO PROBLEM KILLING CHARACTERS. Although it is rare, and I do not intentionally just because I want to, you can die. Souls are lost in the grim 41st Millennium, and your characters are no different. This RP is all about the narrative and you need to understand that
8. You are Dark Eldar. You live a society based around hedonistic violence, sex, drugs, and betrayal left and right. You should not feel morally restricted by any human set of ethics and embrace the dark path, so long as you keep within the boundaries of the site rules. A.K.A. Don’t break the site rules, guys.

Note. ) I know my rules may seem harsh and I agree it’s not for everyone, but I believe that strict rules help to organize a better more in depth RP for everyone, and if you are willing to look past that, I hope you will find a very fun and fulfilling story waiting for you all.

*** I am accepting anywhere between three and six members for this first RP.

RP Synopsis-
So, today folks, I think we're going to try a little thought experiment of mine. The intention of mine to create RPs on this forum has always been with the intent to explore the dark yet fascinating workings of Commoragh and its inhabitants. While that is still the goal, we're going to try doing things from a different perspective this time. Rather than focusing on a Kabal or a band of merecenaries for a much longer RP that can run on for several campaigns, I've decided to instead create a series of much smaller, compartmentalized RPs, each one based around a sellective group of individuals that form essential cogs in the machine of the Dark City. This can run from Incubi and Wracks to the more obscure Harlequins. But first, we're going to start with one of my absolute favorite sect, Scourges. In this RP, you will play as a small cell of freshly blooded Scourges (either only gone on a few missions or only just earned your wings. Your choice) for the 'Carrion Host' an information broker sect like most Scourge hosts that specializes in the safe passage of information across Commoragh.... But nothing's ever that easy in the Dark City and no one has ever taught the Dark Eldar the age old saying of 'Dont Shoot the Messenger'.

I havent decided if I'm completely satisfied with the upgrade options so do note that it is subject to change and I'm sorry if I have to change them on you in the future. I’m sure I probably missed something, so if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. 

Hope you like it.

Character Name: Sarele Illhiryx
Age: 29
Origins: Sarele started off his tale of survival in the streets of low Commorragh, where he lived most of his life alone. Already at a very early age he had to struggle to survive and often starved, facing death almost everyday. On one day, he lay on the cold hard stairs to the entrance of one of the many spires of the Dark City. He was so weak he could not even move or speak, he had been laying there for days crippled after being tortured by Hellion gangs. On that day, he would die he knew. Slaanesh was waiting, after 20 years of survival in the streets, his life would end today. But his sheer will for survival forced him to attempt one last time to fight. Sarele opened his mouth and stick out his tounge slowly. In desperation he reached with his tounge for something, anything for a long moment. Then suddenly a drop of blood hit his tounge. Then another one, and another one. Soon Sarele was drinking drops of blood, having been able to move from his previous position. His strength was returning, he would live! And he opened his eyes, staring up towards the tip of the spires. There he saw it, a Scourge. Looking straight back at him. The Scourge rested on an impaled body at the edge of the spire, the corpse was still bleeding. Now the Scourge extended its wings and swooped down towards Sarele. After that day, Sarele was accepted into the "Carrion Host".

Service History: (Nothing, first day at job.)
Specialty: Survival. Sarele have lived and survived the some of the toughest streets even for DE standards. This means he knows alot about different illness, first aid, scavenging, edible things, environmental hazards and how to sustain his need for agony and pain.
He is also good at pick-pocketting, this was his primary income source.

Personality: Lonewolf and patient.
Appearance: Blue and black feathers instead of hair, razor sharp teeth , total black eyes, pale skin, taller than most DE, sleek and thin, talons as feet and long slender fingers with sharp nails. The feather hair is raised upwards.

Equipment: Blaster, talons and razor sharp teeth (count as close combat weapon if it is ok)
Other: Not yet
Example Post: Will return later for this!

If I had more time, I would certainly sign up! But unfortunately I haven't and I can't in all conscience commit to time I can't be sure of having ... which is er, annoying, PG version. But you can be sure I will be reading avidly

Was wondering if it would suffice for you to check in Vengeance Resplendant as an example of my post?

Any luck with this going to roll? I need more RPs because I'm constantly waiting for updates :p

Given that you're the only person who's signed up so far, not likely.

Due to lack of interest, RP signup will be closed for now. There's always the option to try close in at a later date.

That's a shame but maybe by then I will have more time to play and can join in

Too bad. Sign me up though

I wish I had come to this site earlier! I'd love to be part of this RP if it ever gets going.
